The soul can be defined as the mind, will, and emotions. Practicing soul care involves us spending time in God’s presence and tending to our inner life that we often neglect. Many of the rhythms we have practiced this year help us lean into God’s presence in a variety ways. It is possible to have self care without soul care, but it is not possible to have soul care without self care. We are embodied human beings and our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). Soul care is concerned with the whole of a person. Our soul is very similar to a garden in that it needs to be intentionally nourished and the weeds that appear cannot go ignored. John Wessley, founder of the Methodist movement, was known for asking a soul provoking question that I invite you to sit with, “How goes it with your soul?”
